WHAT CAUSED A YOUNG GREAT WHITE SHARK, THAT WAS RECENTLY RELEASED (AFTER BEING ON –EXHIBIT AT THE MONTEREY BAY AQUARIUM FOR 55 DAYS), TO DIE….HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED. THE JUVENILE SHARK APPEARS TO HAVE DIED JUST DAYS AFTER BEING RELEASED OFF THE COAST OF GOLETA OCTOBER 25TH. ALTHOUGH THE AQUARIUM’S SPECIALISTS SAID IT WAS CLEAR IT WAS TIME TO RELEASE THE YOUNG SHARK, HE APPEARED TO BE DOING WELL (AND THEY HAD NO RESERVATIONS HE WOULD BE FINE IN THE WILD, OR THEY WOULD NOT HAVE RELEASED HIM.
OF THE OTHER 5 GREAT WHITE SHARKS THAT HAVE BEEN EXHIBITED AT THE MONTEREY BAY AQUARIUM, ONLY 1 OTHER HAS DIED, AND THAT ONE WAS CAUGHT IN FISHING NETS ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER IT WAS RELEASED.
